bids,  and  accompanying  checks  or  certificates  of  deposit  to  the  Gen- 
eral Land  Office. 

On  the  same  day  that  they  forward  said  bids,  checks,  etc.,  the 
register  and  receiver  will  send  to  each  bidder  at  the  sale  two  blank 
bonds  and  agreements  and  a  copy  of  the  rules  and  regulations  for 
the  selling  and  removal  of  the  pine  timber  from  the  lands. 

7.  Within  ten  days  after  notice  by  telegraph  that  his  bid  has  been 
accepted  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  each  successful  bidder  will 
be  required  to  enter  into  and  file  an  agreement  and  bond  on  forms 
approved  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  the  penaltmy  of  the  bond  to 
be  of  an  amount  which  shall  be  50  per  cent  of  the  estimated  value  of 
the  timber  embraced  in  the  bid  and  purchase.     He  may  submit  one 
agreement  and  bond  for  all  the  timber  awarded  him  at  the  sale,  the 
agreement  and  bond  to  sufficiently  identify  and  describe  all  the  land. 
The  bond  shall  be  conditioned  for  the  payment  for  said  timber  and 
for  the  faithful  performance  of  said  agreement,  and  for  the  ob- 
servance of  these  regulations.     The   agreement  and  bond  may  be 
acknowledged  by  the   purchaser  of  the  timber,   and  the  bond  by 
sureties,  before  any  officer  authorized  to  take  the  acknowledgment  of 
deeds  in  the  State  or  Territory  where  executed. 

In  case  of  individual  sureties,  the  parties  will  be  required  to  justify 
in  accordance  with  the  special  rules  in  regard  thereto  provided  by 
the  department,  and  the  sufficiency  of  such  sureties  must  be  certified 
by  the  United  States  judge  or  district  attorney  of  the  district  where 
such  sureties  reside. 

8.  Upon  the  filing  in  their  office  of  said  agreement  and  bond,  duly 
executed,  the  register  and  receiver  will  immediately  forward  them 
to  the  General  Land  Office  for  transmission  to  the  Secretary  of  the 
Interior.    The  agreement  and  bond  may  also  be  filed  in  the  General 
Land  Office.     Notice  of  approval  of  said  agreement  and  bond  by  the 
Secretary  of  the  Interior  shall  be  wired  to  the  purchasers  by  the 
General  Land  Office. 

9.  Written  notice  of  intention  to  begin  removal  of  timber  must  be 
given  by  the  purchaser  to  the  superintendent  of  logging,  whose  ad- 
dress is  Cass  Lake,  Minn.,  at  least  ten  days  in  advance. 

10.  The  sale  of  the  timber  will  be  subject  to  the  right  of  the  State 
of  Minnesota  to  make  selection  of  swamp  and  overflowed  lands  under 
the  act  of  March  12,  1860  (12  Stat.,  3),  which  matter  is  now  pending. 

11.  The  superintendent  of  logging  and  his  assistants  shall  supervise 
the  cutting,  scaling,  and  removal  of  the  timber.    It  shall  be  their  duty 
to  see  that  the  rules  and  regulations  are  fully  complied  with;  to  see 
that  no  timber  other  than  pine  is  cut,  except  as  is  allowed  by  the 
Secretary,  and  that  no  logs  are  removed  from  the  place  where  banked 
until  paid  for;  to  see  that  all  tops  and  refuse  are  promptly  and 
properly  burned  or  removed  to  prevent  fire;  to  see  that  Indian  labor 
is  employed  where  practicable;  and  to  supervise  and  direct  the  labor 
of  the  sealers.    The  superintendent  shall  make  monthly  reports  of  the 
"progress  of  such  work,  and  of  the  time,  habits,  and  competency  of  his 
assistants  and  of  the  sealers,  and  he  and  his  assistants  shall  generally 
perform  such  services  in  and  about  the  sale  of  the  pine  timber  on 
feaid  lands  and  the  cutting  of  the  same  therefrom,  and  the  care  and 
protection  of  all  timber  on  said  lands  as  may  be  required  of  them 
by  the  said  Secretary. 


12.  The  sealers  shall  see  that,  before  being  removed  from 

where  cut,  every  stick  of  timber  is  marked  on  both  ends  by  the  logger 
with  a  "  U.  S."  marking  hammer,  and  also  that  it  is  bark  marked; 
and  such  sealers  shall  number  and  scale,  under  Scribner's  rules,  in 
the  log  after  being  cut  and  before  the  same  is  removed  from  the  place 
where  banked  all  logs  cut  under  the  application  and  agreement  under 
said  act. 

Said  sealers  shall  keep  in  suitable  books  for  reference  a  record  of 
the  marks,  also  a  complete  list  of  numbers  of  all  logs,  with  the  scale 
of  each  log  set  opposite  its  number,  said  scale  books  to  be  open  to  the 
inspection  of  the  check  sealer  or  to  any  authorized  government  rep- 
resentative at  all  times. 

13.  All  timber  must  be  scaled  on  the  banking  ground,  landing,  or 
skidway,  and  before  it  is  placed  on  cars  or  put  into  the  water. 

14.  All  trees  shall  be  cut  with  a  saw  whenever  practicable  and  as 
low  down  as  practicable. 

15.  All  merchantable  water-killed  or  blown-down  pine  timber  which 
is  6  inches  or  over  at  the  small  end  shall  be  logged.     Any  such  timber 
left  in  the  woods  shall  be  scaled  under  the  direction  of  the  superin- 
tendent of  logging  and  paid  for  by  the  purchaser  of  the  timber  at 
double  the  regular  stumpage  rate.     No  tree  shall  be  left  lodged  in 
process  of  felling. 

16.  So  far  as  reasonable  all  branches  of  the  logging  operations 
shall  keep  pace  with  each  other.     In  no  instance  will  the  brush  piling 
or  burning  be  allowed  to  fall  behind  the  cutting  and  removing  of 
logs.     It  is  the  duty  of  the  superintendent  and  of  his  assistants  under 
his  directions  to  see  that  the  cutting  is,  as  far  as  practicable,  on  con- 
solidated areas  and  is  not  distributed  here  and  there  over  the  entire 
tract. 

17.  All  tops  and  litter  from  trees  cut  under  these  rules  must  be 
burned  so  as  to  be  safe  against  fire,  under  the  supervision  of  the 
forest  supervisor  of  the  Bureau  of  Forestry,  and  at  such  time  as  he 
shall  select,  but  the  burning  of  tops  or  other  material  larger  than  8 
inches  in  diameter,  or  of  tops  or  litter  not  made  by  logging  under 
these  rules,  will  not  be  required.     The  piles  must  be  compact  and 
large  enough  to  burn  clean  without  repiling,  and  must  not  be  so  near 
young  growth  or  standing  green  trees  as  to  endanger  either  of  them, 
and  must  be  placed  where  there  is  least  danger  of  the  fire  spreading. 

18.  Unnecessary  damage  to  young  growth  or  trees  left  for  seed 
must  be  carefully  avoided. 

19.  As  few  log  roads  as  practicable  shall  be  cut,  nor  shall  they  be 
made  wider  than  is  actually  necessary. 

20.  In  case  of  the  failure  of  a  purchaser  to  comply  with  the  direc- 
tions of  the  superintendent  of  logging  and  his  assistants  in  the  mat- 
ter of  the  piling  and  the  burning  of  the  brush  and  debris,  the  super- 
intendent of  logging  shall  have  the  same  properly  piled  and  burned 
and  charge  the  expense  thereof  to  the  purchaser  of  the  timber  in  the 
next  monthly  scale  bill,  first,  however,  giving  the  purchaser  written 
notice  of  his  intention  to  pile  and  burn  the  brush  and  debris  and 
allowing  him  ten  days  from  the  date  of  such  notice  to  comply  with 
his  instructions. 

21.  All  instructions  and  demands  from  the  superintendent  or  his 
assistants  to  or  upon  the  loggers  or  purchasers  shall  be  made  in 
writing,  including  the  demand  for  payment  to  be  made  when  due, 
as  hereinafter  provided  for.     Legible  press  copies  of  such  instruc- 


tions  and  demands  must  be  kept  by  such  superintendent  and  assist- 
ants in  books  provided  for  that  purpose. 

22.  The  timber  described  in  the  schedule  as  being  on  sees.  23,  24, 
25,  and  26,  T.  143  N.,  E.  31  W.,  which  includes  only  the  down  tim- 
ber on  said  sections,  must  be  removed  prior  to  October  1,  1910,  and 
the  remaining  timber  prior  to  July  1,  1911.     In  the  removal  of  the 
timber  sold  hereunder  no  standing  timber  shall  be  cut,  except  such 
as  may  be  actually  necessary  in  order  to  remove  the  down  timber,  and 
then  only  when  approved  by  the  forest  supervisor  of  the  Minnesota 
National  Forest,  whose  decision  shall  be  final  in  the  matter. 

23.  The  money  for  the  timber  cut  and  scaled  during  each  month 
shall  become  due  and  payable  in  monthly  installments  at  the  end  of 
such  month,  or  oftener,  iii  the  discretion  of  the  superintendent  of  log- 
ging, and  shall  be  paid  before  said  logs  are  removed  from  the  place 
where  banked;   provided   that  no  payment  will  be  required  until 
the  scale  bills  for  the  timber  cut  on  any  bid  or  contract  exceed  the 
amount  deposited  with  such  bid.     The  timber  may,  by  permission  of 
the  Commissioner  of  the  General  Land  Office,  be  removed  before  the 
actual  payment  of  the  money  in  all  cases  where  such  course  is  rec- 
ommended by  the  superintendent  of  logging  and  is  approved  by  the 
proper  Indian  agent.     If  not  so  paid  when  due,  or  within  thirtyVlays 
thereafter,  and  after  written  demand  from  the  superintendent  of  log- 
ging, the  said  contract  and  the  money  paid  thereunder  may  be  de- 
clared forfeited  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  and  the  timber  may 
be  banked,  shipped,  and  sold  by  the  superintendent,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  and  the  deposit  made  at  time 
of  bid  and  the  net  proceeds,  after  deducting  expenses  of  banking, 
shipping,  and  selling,  applied  to  the  amount  due  therefor  from  such 
purchaser  or  logger,  and  any  excess  shall  be  paid  to  him.     If  excess 
be  due  from  the  logger  after  such  sale  by  the  Secretary,  he  shall  pay 
the  same  upon  demand  from  the  superintendent. 

24.  The  scale  bills  must  be  approved  by  the  superintendent  of  log- 
ging and  such  approval  confirmed  by  the  superintendent  of  Leech 
Lake  Agency,  Onigum,  Minn.,  after  examination  thereof  and  of  the 
check  scale,  if  any,  and  thereupon  the  superintendent  of  logging  shall 
demand  payment,  and  such  payment  must  be  made  to  said  superin- 
tendent, Leech  Lake  Agency,  who  shall  account  therefor  to  the  Com- 
missioner of  Indian  Affairs,  and  also  report  the  several  amounts  paid 
to  the  superintendent  of  logging  and  the  Commissioner  of  the  General 
Land  Office. 

25.  The  decision  of  the  superintendent  of  logging  shall  be  final  in 
the  execution  of  the  foregoing  rules. 

26.  The  violation  of  any  of  these  rules,  if  persisted  in,  shall  be 
deemed  a  sufficient  cause  for  annulling  the  contract  and  canceling  the 
sale  of  the  stumpage.     In  case  of  damages  caused  by  such  violation 
of  the  rules  and  annulment  and  cancellation  of  the  contract  and  sale, 
demand  for  the  amount  thereof,  after  ascertainment  and  approval  by 
the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  shall  be  made  by  the  superintendent  of 
logging,  and  the  purchaser  will  be  allowed  thirty  days  from  such 
notice  within  which  to  pay  the  amount  due.

after made.  The  islands  in  Cass  and  Leech  lakes  and  the  land  re- 
served at  Sugar  Point  and  Pine  Point  Peninsula  shall  remain  as 
Indian  land  under  the  control  of  the  Department  of  the  Interior. 

"  Each  and  every  purchaser  of  timber  hereunder  shall  be  required 
and  shall  enter  into  an  agreement  to  cut  clean  and  remove  all  the  mer- 
chantable pine  timber,  whether  green  or  dead,  standing  or  fallen,  on 


each  tract,  subdivision,  or  lot  covered  by  his  purchase,  except  on  the 
forestry  lands  as  hereinbefore  provided,  within  such  time  as  the  Sec- 
retary of  the  Interior  may  direct,  and  under  such  rules  and  regula- 
tions as  he  may  prescribe,  and  to  cut  no  timber  other  than  pine,  except 
such  as  may  be  absolutely  necessary  in  the  economical  conduct  of  the 
logging  operations,  and  to  burn  or  remove  a  sufficient  amount  of  the 
tops  and  refuse  to  prevent  danger  from  fire  to  the  timber  left  stand- 
ing, under  rules  and  regulations  to  be  prescribed  by  the  Secretary  of 
the  Interior,  and,  when  practicable,  to  employ  Indian  labor  in  the  cut- 
ting, handling,  and  manufacture  of  said  timber.  And  each  and  every 
purchaser  shall  be  required  to  give  a  bond  in  a  sufficient  penalty,  to 
be  approved  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  for  the  faithful  perform- 
ance of  said  agreement  and  for  the  observance  of  the  regulations  of 
the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  concerning  the  sale,  cutting,  and  removal 
of  such  timber:  Provided,  That  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  shall, 
upon  application,  furnish  to  any  persons  who  may  expect  to  bid,  not 
more  than  ninety  days  prior  to  the  date  of  the  sale  of  any  pine  timber 
hereinbefore  mentioned,  a  statement  of  the  rules  and  regulations 
under  which  said  pine  timber  shall  be  cut  and  the  tops  and  refuse 
thereof  burnt  or  removed,  and  of  the  time  within  which  said  timber 
must  be  removed. 

"  Before  being  removed  from  the  tract  from  which  they  are  cut,  all 
logs  cut  hereunder  shall  be  stamped  and  bark-marked  by  the  logger 
and  numbered  and  scaled  by  competent  and  experienced  sealers,  to  be 
appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  and  paid  such  reasonable 
salaries  as  may  be  fixed  by  him.  Said  sealers  shall  keep  in  suitable 
books  for  reference  a  record  of  the  marks,  also  a  complete  list  of  the 
numbers  of  all  logs,  writh  the  scale  of  each  log  set  opposite  its  number-, 
said  scale  books  to  be  open  to  the  inspection  of  the  check  sealer  or  to 
any  authorized  Government  representative  at  all  times;  and  said  logs 
shall  be  landed  separately  from  all  other  logs,  and  the  title  to  said  logs 
shall  remain  in  the  United  States  for  the  benefit  of  the  Indians ;  and 
said  logs  shall  not  be  removed  from  the  place  of  landing  until  the  pur- 
chase price  agreed  upon  shall  be  fully  paid  to  such  officer  of  the 
Indian  Department  as  shall  be  designated  by  the  Secretary  of  the 
Interior  to  account  for  and  receive  the  same.  And  the  Secretary  of 
the  Interior  may,  at  the  request  of  the  chiefs  of  said  bands  or  tribes 
of  Chippewa  Indians  of  the  State  of  Minnesota  interested  in  the  said 
timber  sales,  appoint  check  sealers  to  verify  and  inspect  the  work  of 
the  Government  sealers;  the  said  check  sealers  to  be  designated  by 
said  chiefs  and  paid  out  of  the  funds  of  the  Indians  such  reasonable 
compensation  as  may  be  fixed  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior. 

"After  the  merchantable  pine  timber  on  any  tract,  subdivision,  or 
lot  shall  have  been  removed,  such  tract,  subdivision,  or  lot  shall,  ex- 
cept on  the  forestry  lands  aforesaid,  for  the  purposes  of  this  act,  be 
classed  and  treated  as  agricultural  lands,  and  shall  be  opened  to 
homestead  entry  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  act :  Pro- 
vided, That  on  the  forestry  lands  aforesaid,  as  soon  as  the  merchant- 
able pine  timber  now  thereon  shall  have  been  removed  from  any 
tract,  subdivision,  or  lot,  as  herein  provided,  such  tract,  subdivision, 
or  lot  shall,  without  further  act,  resolution,  or  proclamation,  forth- 
with become  and  be  part  of  a  forest  reserve,  the  same  as  though  set 
apart  by  proclamation  of  the  President  in  accordance  with  the  act  of 
Congress  approved  March  third,  eighteen  hundred  and  ninety-one, 


and  subsequent  laws  amending  and  supplementing  the  same,  and 
shall  be  managed  and  protected  in  accordance  with  their  provisions 
and  the  rules  and  regulations  made  and  to  be  made  in  furtherance 
thereof:  And  provided  further,  That  on  said  forestry  lands  afore- 
said said  pine  timber  shall  be  cut  clean,  except  as  to  the  five  per  centum 
as  hereinbefore  provided,  and  removed  under  the  supervision  and 
direction  of  the  Forester  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture,  in  ac- 
cordance with  rules  and  regulations  to  be  prescribed  by  him  and 
approved  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  and  the  said  Forester 
shall  have  power  at  all  times  to  patrol  and  protect  said  lands  and 
forests,  and  to  enforce  all  rules  and  regulations  made  by  him  as 
aforesaid. 

"As  soon  as  practicable  after  the  passage  of  this  act  the  Secretary 
of  the  Interior  shall  open  to  homestead  settlement,  as  herein  pro- 
vided, the  lands  on  all  the  reservations,  or  portions  of  reservations, 
which  have  been  ceded  to  the  United  States  by  the  Chippewa  Indians 
in  Minnesota,  including  the  four  reservations  last  aforesaid,  which 
have  been  examined  and  found  to  be  agricultural  lands,  and  shall 
immediately  proceed  to  have  examined,  as  herein  provided,  the  re- 
maining lands,  and  shall  without  delay  open  to  homestead  settlement 
those  found  to  be  agricultural  lands:  Provided,  That  on  the  four 
reservations  last  aforesaid,  w^here  agricultural  lands  are  included 
within  or  contiguous  to  forestry  lands  and  are,  in  the  opinion  of  the 
Forester  of  the  Agricultural  Department,  necessary  to  the  economical 
administration  and  protection  of  the  same,  said  Forester  shall,  as 
soon  as  practicable  after  the  passage  of  this  act  as  to  those  lands 
which  have  already  been  examined,  and  as  to  the  lands  not  yet  ex- 
amined immediately  after  the  examination  and  approval  of  the  lists 
of  said  lands,  of  which  approval  said  Forester  shall  be  immediately 
notified  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  file  with  the  Secretary  of 
the  Interior  schedules  designating  according  to  Government  sub- 
divisions said  agricultural  lands,  not  to  exceed  fifteen  thousand  acres 
of  the  lands  already  examined  and  not  to  exceed  ten  thousand  acres 
of  the  lands  yet  to  be  examined,  which  said  agricultural  lands  so 
designated  shall  not  be  offered  for  entry  and  settlement,  but  shall 
become  and  be  a  part  of  the  forest  reserve  hereinbefore  created, 

"  There  shall  be  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  one 
superintendent  and  such  assistants  as  he  may  deem  necessary,  whose 
compensation  shall  be  fixed  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  and  for 
the  superintendent  shall  not  exceed  six  dollars  per  day,  and  for  the 
assistants  shall  not  exceed  four  dollars  per  day  each,  while  actually 
employed,  and  whose  duties  shall  be  to  supervise  the  cutting  and 
scaling  of  the  timber  sold  under  the  provisions  of  this  act,  and  to  see 
that  the  rules  and  regulations  prescribed  by  the  Forester  and  the 
Secretary  of  the  Interior  are  complied  with,  and  generally  to  perform 
such  services  in  and  about  the  sale  of  the  pine  timber  on  said  lands, 
and  the  cutting  of  the  same  therefrom,  and  the  care  and  protection  of 
all  timber  on  said  lands,  as  may  be  required  of  them  by  said  Forester 
and  said  Secretary. 

"  The  Secretary  of  the  Interior  may,  in  his  discretion,  authorize  the 
purchasers  of  timber  hereunder  to  build  on  the  rivers  and  lakes  on  or 
within  said  ceded  lands,  under  such  rules  and  regulations  as  he  may 
deem  proper,  dams,  cofferdams,  booms,  and  to  make  other  river  and 
lake  improvements  necessary  to  facilitate  logging  operations:  Pro- 


vided,  That  the  parties  building  such  dams,  cofferdams,  booms,  and 
making  other  river  and  lake  improvements  shall  pay  the  officer  whom 
the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  shall  designate  to  receive  such  payments 
such  damages  as  may  be  caused  on  the  said  ceded  lands,  such  damages 
to  be  ascertained  and  determined  in  such  manner  as  the  Secretary  of 
the  Interior  may  direct. 

"All  the  expenses  incurred  in  carrying  out  the  provisions  of  this 
act  as  to  the  examining  and  listing  of  said  lands,  and  the  selling,  cut- 
ting, and  scaling  of  said  timber,  shall  be  paid  by  the  Secretary  of  the 
Interior  out  of  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  said  timber:  Provided,  That 
no  expense  arising  out  of  the  forestry  provision  shall  be  charged  to 
the  Indians."
